Land Acknowledgement
Chicago Shakespeare Theater and the city colonially known as Chicago are located on the traditional, unceded tribal lands of many Indigenous nations, including the Council of the Three Fires: the Potawatomi, the Ojibwe, and the Odawa, as well as the Menominee, Ho’Chunk, Miami, Peoria, and Illini Confederacy, peoples who have meaningful connections to this land, the waterways, and to one another. We ask you to join us in acknowledging the Indigenous communities who lived here, and those who still do. Today one of the largest urban, Native American communities resides in Chicago—vitally contributing to the life of this city and caring for the surrounding land and waters.
